Overall score
Montero Smile Art is a well-credentialed San Jose implantology clinic with AAID membership, 29 years of experience, and clear dental tourism infrastructure for North American patients. The review base is almost entirely local Spanish-speaking patients which limits confidence in tourist-specific experience, but the credentials and infrastructure are solid.
Authenticity
7/104.98/5 from 50 sampled reviews (354 total). Predominantly Spanish-language Costa Rican locals. No North American dental tourist reviews visible in sample. All reviews vague and positive - triggers all-5-star pattern concern (-1 authenticity).
